Generating Dynamic form from static context.

Hi All
I have static context node structure
Section (Node)
QuestionText (Attribute)
AnsText (Attribute)
I have populated the values in this node from an RFC in my code .
Now i need to create a form dynamically with QuestionText as labels and AnsText as input fields.
I have written the following code
for(int i = 0; i< wdContext.nodeSection().getSize; i++)
IWDInputField inp_Ans = (IWDInputField)view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,"ID"+i);
IWDAttributeInfo ansAtrib = wdContext.nodeSection().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("AnsText");
inp_Ans.bindValue(ansAtrib);
This way i have bound a single attribute to all inputfields.
So the value in the first element of AnsText appears in all inputfields.
In case of tables it works fine but i need to create the form.
Kindly help me in solving the issue.
Regards
Sonal

It is not possible to bind UI elements against node elements, only inside context-driven UI elements like Table, RowRepeater etc.
What you can do is
- use a RowRepeater, or
- create separate context attributes instead of node elements and bind the programmatically created Label and InputField elements to these attributes

Using a function from static context..

Well I have a command line app; and it has a public static void main. Now, I made a function that writes to a file, and tried calling it from the main section, and it got mad saying I can't call it from static context. Anyway to allow it to be called from both static and non static contexts?

otherwise create object of the class, from that object you can call a method

Non-static variable from static context?

Hi,
I've created a program using swing components
and I've set up a addActionListener to a button,
button.addActionListener(this);
when try and compile I get the following error:
non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a
static context
button.addActionListener(this);
I've checked site and my notes I don't seem to have
done anything different from programs that have compiled
in the past.
I'm currently doing a programming course so I'm fairly
new to Java, try not to get to advanced on me :)
Thx in advance for any help.
Chris

Well what is declared static? If I remeber right this error means that you have a static method that is trying to access data it does not have access to. Static methods cannot access data that is intance data because they do not exist in the instance (not 100% sure about this but I believe it is true, at the very least I know they do not have access to any non-static data). Post some more of your code like where you declare this (like class def) and where you set up the button.

How do I translate a dynamic form from english into spanish?

With your assistance, I was able to create a dynamic form with expandable text fields. Now I am being tasked with translating this form from English into Spanish. I do not know how to edit the words in the text box captions so that the appropriate accents are added. Currently, the text font is Myriad Pro.

Removing the dynamic attributes from view context

Hi,
I have added an attribute dynamically using the following line of code in wdDoModifyView():
wdThis.wdGetContext().getContext().getRootNodeInfo ().addAttribute(<attributename>, <datatype>);
Now I want to remove the dynamically created attribute from the context.
Pls suggest me in this regard.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh,
You can use the following code to remove the attribute dynamically:
Iterator itr = wdContext.node<NodeName>().getNodeInfo().iterateAttributes();
<i>// If the node where you are making these attributes is a context node then just do:</i>
// <b>wdContext.getNodeInfo().iterateAttributes()</b>, <i>for iterator</i>
while(itr.hasNext()){
IWDAttributeInfo attrInfo = (IWDAttributeInfo)itr.next();
attrInfo.remove();
This will solve your problem.

Converting dynamic form to static

Hi I am new to Livecyle designer (8.0) and I have created a dynamic form which expands as users complete it. However I need to be able to combine these forms into one PDF not as a package to form a final report.
Is there some way that the when the PDF is sent by e-mail it can be sent back as a static form? Or how do I convert the completed dynamic form to a static form which I can combine?

If the form has dynamic fields added to it then even users using the free Adobe Reader will be able to fill in the form. However, if it is save-off-line that you are looking for then you will need to extend the form using Reader Extensions.
Can you be more specific about your requirements?

Generating Dynamic UI from XML structure

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I need to select an entry in the first view and based on this, the second view would come come. But there are 30 different values that can be selected and each of them will have a different set of UI elements in the second screen. So if I go for normal static UI creation, then I need to create 30 odd views which is something we do not want.
The second option is to dynamically generate the UI elements in wdDoModify() method. But for 30 different conditions to check all the time will lead to performance issue.
So we are thinking if there is a way for webdynpro to dynamically read an XML structure that defines attributes and generates a layout for us dynamically.
Please provide your inputs on this. Also kindly suggest any other better ways for the solution.
Thanks and Regards,
Sayan Ghosh

Hello!
I think you should go with second one. But I don't know any "ready to use" solutions, so you have to
- Create your own XML structure, something like
<section type="yourCondition">
<input name="somePropertyName" type="text"/>

</section>
- Parse this XML into Java Model (on application startup for example)
- On user selection choose requred UI Model from memory and pass it to view
- In wdDoModify() build UI(elements, context attributes, mappings etc.) according to this model
It will be rather complicated for huge UI, but possible.

How can I populate a dynamic form from Excel data (beginner)

I am reasonably certain this is beginner-level but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this. I have data in an ecxel file and I would like to import that data into a form using LS. I need to distribute the unique data to each recipient. (I have included an example below) I would really appreciate any advice. If there is a tutorial that explains this I would be happy to go through that. Thanks in advance.

I would like to send a template e-mail to each sales rep at "PC.com" that says:
Dear <SalesRep>,
<Customer> has the following equipment:
<Account No> | <Customer> | <Equipment>
I would like all the data for each customer to go to the sales rep. For instance, Jim should get an e-mail stating that "Pear Computing" has two items, and a separate e-mail stating that "Orange Computing" has two items. What I want to avoid is the MS Word mail merge solution that equates to Jim getting 4 emails. I would like the equipment to be grouped by customer number or account number. I would prefer to have a dynamic layout with flowed page as the number of items per customer will vary.
PLEASE HELP!

Adding dynamic attributes to static context node

Hi All,
I have defined a context node LINES with several attributes. This is done staticly during developmenttime.
During run-time node LINES is extended with several attributes dynamicly. See below:
10     HEADER_GUID               ->
11     DETAIL_GUID               ->
12     EXTERNAL_ID               ->
13     OBJECT_TYPE               ->
14     IN_OUT_PLAN               ->
15     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_1               ->
16     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_2               ->
17     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_3               ->
18     TRAFFIC_LIGHT_4               ->
19     _LOCATION          \TYPE=STRING     ->
20     _ZZTOPGROUPING     \TYPE=STRING     ->
21     _STATUS          \TYPE=STRING     ->
22     _100000200          \TYPE=STRING     ->
19..22 are added dynamicly.
I have an internal table that matches de new context. This <fs_tb_tree_new> I want to bind like:
*&- bind table
lr_node->bind_table( new_items = <fs_tb_tree_new>
                       set_initial_elements = abap_true ).
In <fs_tb_tree_new> the dynamicly added attrbutes contains values e.g. (the static attributes also have values via <fs_tb_tree_new>):
                     _LOCATION   _ZZTOPGROUPING _STATUS              _100000200
5     Africa     0002     Reporting Entity     0.000
6     Russia, CIS     0003     Identify                          0.000
An ALV presents the values of the attribute. But.... only the values of the static part are presented, not the dynamic attributes added during runtime.
Please advise what I forget or do wrong .
Thanks in advance.
John

I solved the issue:
If you use a combination of static attributes added with dynanic attributes (during runtime) for dynamic ALV, I advise to create a new node and bind the values to this new created node:

PDF preview of form in WDJ doens't show a dynamic form but static.

Hi,
I designed a pdf form in standalone adobe designer 7.1. I saved the file as DYNAMIC pdf.
I have a WDJ with a view, which contains an Interactive Form element. I linked the dynamic pdf to the designer by importing the file in the designer.
But when the WDJ runs and shows the PDF in the browser, the PDF is static and NOT dynamic. What is the reason for this?
The PDF should be dynamic, because I have buttons on it and they do not respond anymore.
Anyhelp will be rewarded.
Kind regards,
Sandhya

This is a known problem with forms that have been saved with the Preview application. For more information, see:

Dynamic forms from 2 tables

Hi, (Sorry for the long post)
DB Table one contains 4 fields:
EventName
Venue
Price
Date
Form one is used by the owner to enter the data for an event into the DB Table One - there are several different events.
DB Table two contains 7 fields (4 of the fields to retrieve data from table one)
Name
contact
email
Event Name
Venue
Price
Date
Form two is for a person registering for one of the events entered into DB table one.
I set up a recordset called rsListEvents and then used the "Insert Record Form Wizard" to create form two with the following fields:
EventName
Venue
Price
eDate
which I set to defaults
{rsListEvents.EventName}
{rsListEvents.Venue}
{rsListEvents.Price}
{rsListEvents.eDate}
I have a page listing the events and when register for this event is clicked I was hoping the data from table one would be entered into form two and the user then fills in the rest manually where all the data is entered into DB table two.
Unfortunately even though the URL indicates that the correct information from table one should be entered into form two .php?id_event=2
The data from DB table one row id_event=1 is always displayed no matter what the record number is.
Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong
Thanks
laurence

I am simplyfing this so I can get help on a basic level ( Mr basic)
Why does this not work?
I set up a Dynamic List using DB Table 1 and set the detailed page.
I set up a record set on the detailed page using the same table.
SELECT *
FROM addEvents
When I test I get the results from ID 1 no matter which one I choose. But when I test the RS I get both dummy entries 1 and 2
So I am missing something that needs to be appended to the URL.

Creating dynamic caches from static config

Hi, we normally create our caches using static config, using the std xml config.
Example, in our cache-mapping, we'll have a cache like the below:
<cache-name>account</cache-name>
            <scheme-name>distributed-persistent-write-thru</scheme-name>
            <init-params>
                <init-param>
                    <param-name>cache-store-class-name</param-name>
                    <param-value>spring-bean:accountCacheStore</param-value>
                </init-param>
                <init-param>
                    <param-name>expiry-time</param-name>
                    <param-value>7d</param-value>
                </init-param>
                <init-param>
                    <param-name>high-units-param</param-name>
                    <param-value>6075000</param-value>
                </init-param>
                <init-param>
                    <param-name>low-units-param</param-name>
                    <param-value>4556251</param-value>
                </init-param>
            </init-params>And in our schemes, we'll have something like:
   <distributed-scheme>
            <scheme-name>distributed-persistent-write-thru</scheme-name>
            <service-name>DistributedWriteThrough</service-name>
            <backing-map-scheme>
                <read-write-backing-map-scheme>
                    <class-name>com.mycom.coherence.ExceptionLoggingBackingMap</class-name>
                    <internal-cache-scheme>
                        <local-scheme>
                            <scheme-ref>local-hybrid-eviction</scheme-ref>
                            <expiry-delay>{expiry-time}</expiry-delay>
                            <high-units>{high-units-param}</high-units>
                            <low-units>{low-units-param}</low-units>
                        </local-scheme>
                    </internal-cache-scheme>
                    <cachestore-scheme>
                        <class-scheme>
                            <class-name>{cache-store-class-name}</class-name>
                        </class-scheme>
                    </cachestore-scheme>
                    <write-delay>0</write-delay>
                </read-write-backing-map-scheme>
            </backing-map-scheme>
            <autostart>true</autostart>
            <backup-count-after-writebehind>0</backup-count-after-writebehind>
        </distributed-scheme>However, now we need to be more dynamic. What i'd like to do is create N caches, that all look like the "account" cache above; so it's like i want to use the config as a template. I don't know how many of these caches i'll need, so i can't configure them statically. The number of caches will be given to the server at startup.
Something like:
List cacheList = new ArrayList<NamedCache>();
NamedCache templateCache = CacheFactory.getCache("account");
cacheList.add( templateCache );
for( int i=0; i<count; i++) {
   cacheList.add( CacheFactory.createFromCache( templateCache, "account"+i ) );
}So what's "best practice" for doing something like this?
Thx.

Ahh.. I see. There are a few ways to do this.
Presumably then you can create the cache store from Spring for a given cache name. So create a factory class with a static method that takes a String parameter, which will be the cache name, and returns a Cache Store. For example...
package com.jk;
public class CacheStoreFactory {
    public static CacheStore createCacheStore(String cacheName) {
        // in here goes your code to get the cache store instance from Spring
}Now change your cache configuration to use the Factory for your cache store like this
<cache-mapping>
    <cache-name>account*</cache-name>
    <scheme-name>distributed-persistent-write-thru</scheme-name>
    <init-params>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>expiry-time</param-name>
            <param-value>7d</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>high-units-param</param-name>
            <param-value>6075000</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>low-units-param</param-name>
            <param-value>4556251</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </init-params>
</cache-mapping>

Product for Generating Dynamic Forms

Hi,
Adobe has a myriad of products. Which product is suitable to create dynamic PDF forms, downloadable to client (not necessary to integrate with browser). The "dynamicity" of the forms are dependent on questions answered by the user - which in all likelihood would be better asked "outside" the Adobe form. In other words, generate a PDF Form for entry using Adobe technology in conjunction with a web technology like ASP, Java or other?

Stars, snowflakes? A database for Data Warehouse with facts and measures connected in a star/snowflake like schema? It remains a database. And SSIS already has stock components for processing DW as SSAS Cube processing, merging data, lookups, you name it.
They are graphical.
You can achieve all this by just using SSIS which is tailored exactly to doing that.
The rest, if there is a gap, there are third party components available for as BIML http://varigence.com/Products/Biml/Capabilities that can automate things and take away the routine.

dbms_output.put_line(the_sql); /* to verify if query is correct or not */
end;the code above should generate something like (provided all those dates appear in your showroom_sales table)
select a_showroom,
       max(decode(a_date,to_date('20090101','yyyymmdd'),a_sale,null)) "01-01-09",
       max(decode(a_date,to_date('20090102','yyyymmdd'),a_sale,null)) "02-01-09",
       max(decode(a_date,to_date('20090103','yyyymmdd'),a_sale,null)) "03-01-09",
       max(decode(a_date,to_date('20090104','yyyymmdd'),a_sale,null)) "04-01-09",
       max(decode(a_date,to_date('20090105','yyyymmdd'),a_sale,null)) "05-01-09",
       max(decode(a_date,to_date('20090106','yyyymmdd'),a_sale,null)) "06-01-09",
       max(decode(a_date,to_date('20090107','yyyymmdd'),a_sale,null)) "07-01-09"
from showroom_sales
group by a_showroom
order by a_showroom to be executed to get the result as required

Non-static method paint cannot be referenced from static context

i cant seem to figure out this error dealing method paint:

Animation.paint(g); paint() is not a static method. That means you have to call it on an instance of an Animation class (an object), not on the class itself. This is designed this way because the paint() method uses variables that have to be instantiated, so if you don't have an instance to use, it can't access the variables it needs. Static methods don't use instance variables, they only use what's passed in to them, so they don't need to be called on an object. Hope that was clear.
